Analog output from CD player distorted

Hi folks,

 

I recently acquired a Chord One CD player. It worked well for a few days. However , tonight when I listened it the sound is distorted/cracked. I tested with multiple systems and discs so I can confirm it’s the One CD player that’s faulty. However, the digital output stays intact. Any ideas? Thank you!

hi Jeff, I plugged it to my Classe preamp through XLR. I also tested it with another preamp using RCA. Distortion in both channels and the distortion is the same for for every replay (same type, same timing..)

Thanks folks. Nah it’s not a connection problem. I used xlr first, and tried rca with another preamp. Never ran both connections together.. I agree maybe the dac is fried.

I have a separate dac and the digital out of the cd player works. Yes I paid money already and seems the seller is reluctant for a return. To be honest I’d rather return it at the stage even though I will lose the shipping cost and international transaction fee..
